We toured the indoor area, then stepped outside and started out walk to the Fort. There were several things to see on the walk between the park and the lakeshore. Once we reached the fort, we visited all the buildings and exhibits, in the order suggested by the site map. Through the displays and the short movies, we learned a lot about the pre-colonial and colonial history of the upper midwest. For the cost ($15.25 per adult), it's a great way to spend several hours, learn quite a bit and do so at a low cost.

But I saw the Orpheum Theatre right there in the middle of Main Street, with signs and arrows pointing to a haunted house awaiting inside. I'm a horror fiend, so how could I pass up an old-timey haunted house? There's no way I couldn't not stop in! I happened to visit during the month of October, which is peak haunted house / Halloween season, but apparently, the haunted house at the Orpheum Theatre is open year-round during the tourist season. This haunted house has been around for more than 50 years, and to be honest, you can kind of tell. But that's part of the fun! The monster wax figures throughout this walk-through haunted house look like they've been grinding for several decades (and they have!), so you will probably be laughing and screaming in equal proportions. My kids and I were groaning at the cheesiness one minute, and then screaming because one of those cheesy wax figures moved and scared us the next minute. As you make your way through the haunted house, you'll peer into rooms and see mythological wax figures, make your way through a mirror maze, and go through a laser light area. Mostly, though, the haunted house is really dark, and you can't see much, which makes it even more scary when someone whispers in your ear. (Yes, that happens!) For some reason, the creepy, whispering disembodied voice chose to zero-in on me, and every so often, I would sense something near me, and then hear a whisper in my ear. I screamed every time! We had a wonderfully, gleefully scary 10 minutes or so, which is about the time it takes to make your way through the haunted house. As of this writing, admission to the haunted house is $9 for ages 7 and older, and free for ages younger than 6 years old. It's completely worth the admission to experience this vintage haunted house.

"Don't know much about history But I do know that I love you…read moreAnd I know that if you love me too What a wonderful world this would be" (Sam Cooke) If local history is your thing, you'll surely love the wonderful world that awaits you at the Museum of Ojibwa Culture. For example, you can stroll around in scenic Father Marquette Park with displays about his life. On the Museum grounds is the site where Marquette's French Jesuit Mission was located, where he lived, and where he was buried. Marquette established the French mission around 1671 as the area became a center of the flourishing fur trade. The old St. Ignace Mission is beautiful. Around the grounds, I saw plenty of displays of the area's Indian heritage, stylized statues of a Medicine Man, Indian Maiden, and several stuffed animal displays alongside plaques of the animal's Indian name. So if you're ever engaged in a bar bet about the Ojibwe name for a deer, you can confidently say "Wawashesh'she". There's also plenty of indoor and outdoor exhibits to grab a glimpse of Ojibwa culture and the lifestyles of the Huron Indians. Walking the Museum's beautiful grounds was relaxing, peaceful, and very educational.
